But first, let's briefly introduce you to the legendary giant jeep.
Where is the biggest road builder?
Historically, it so happened that the lion's share of passenger giants today is produced in the USA. This is due to the peculiarities of the way of life, where large SUV pickups are held in high esteem. The wide expanses of the prairies have contributed to the fact that American cars in relation to European or Asian cars stand out with more massive dimensions.
However, there is an exception - the largest off-road giant, capable of driving independently, is located in United Arab Emirates. A seven-meter diesel monster weighing 4400 kg is a 4 times enlarged copy the legendary jeep Willys.

Big and famous Hummer
It is difficult to imagine a car enthusiast who has no idea about legendary cars Hummer. Front-engined large SUVs with all-wheel drive are available in pickup or station wagon versions. The most compact and economical in the line of Hummer jeeps was the H3 model with a 3.7-liter engine. If desired, you can order a more expensive reinforced modification of a reliable crossover with an eight-cylinder “engine” with a volume of 5.3 liters, complete with an automatic transmission.
The largest production SUV
The real giant Ford F650 is equipped with everything necessary to be not only a means to satisfy gigantic ambitions, but also to solve practical problems of transporting goods and people. Today, the largest SUVs in the world are regularly working at customs, in the police and in other public services many countries.
Thanks to their practicality and endurance, the powerful, longest and heaviest machines in their class are capable of moving at speeds up to 115 km/h. They are well demanded by farmers, entrepreneurs and just lovers of giant machines. In Russia, a reliable diesel SUV with a massive body, combined with a huge front and rear bumpers available only on secondary market or by individual orders in America.

This "stuffing" provides acceleration of hundreds of kilometers in 4 seconds with top speed 270 km/h. However electronic pointer set to display no more than 240 km / h. The market value of the fastest jeep exceeds 560 thousand dollars.
Summing up
Definitely say what the car will fit difficult in one way or another. However, as the rating shows, among domestic motorists the most popular are their own - Russian SUVs. Recently, the demand for Chinese cars. This is due to the availability, including auto parts and service in our service centers. Plus, most of the giants are made in America, which affects the cost of purchase. big cars due to certain difficulties with delivery to the Russian Federation.
As you know, SUVs are big and powerful cars. With rare exceptions, they look much more impressive than ordinary "cars". Behind the wheel of a cross-country vehicle, you always feel truly confident, able to overcome almost any obstacle. This feeling is greatly enhanced when you know that the SUV you own is the largest in the world in its class. But how do you know if this is true, and what are the criteria for this "enormity"? With this we will try to figure it out.
If we talk about cars made to order, then there is no competition for an SUV created specifically for one Arab sheikh. Imagine, the height of this "monster" exceeds six meters! At the same time, landing and control are not difficult for any person. But this is an exception. We will consider serial SUVs of normal height, but not shorter than five meters.
The heaviest
In this category, the undoubted leader is the famous "Hummer". When creating this "monster", the designers clearly did not save on metal. The heaviest modification this car(with a station wagon body) weighs neither more nor less than four tons six hundred kilograms. The dry weight of the model reaches almost three tons (2,990 kg). The nearest competitor of "Hummer" in this nomination is SUV " Toyota Mega Cruiser" is significantly inferior. Its dry weight is less by almost one and a half centners (2,850 kg).
Unfortunately, the concepts of "big" and "fast" are often incompatible. That's what happened this time as well. As the world's heaviest SUV, the Hummer is also the slowest. Its eight-cylinder sixteen-valve diesel engine squeezes out a maximum of 105 km / h, which is hard to call high speed even with a very strong desire.
The longest
The world's longest production SUV is the Ford Excursion. Before buying this giant, it is highly recommended to additionally check the dimensions of your garage. The distance between the rear and front bumper is as much as 5.74m. Let Excursion not be the longest passenger cars in the world, yielding almost a meter to the Bugatti Type 41 of the twenty-seventh year of release (6.7 m), but in its class it “surpassed” everyone.
The SUVs "Ford F-250" (5.71m) and "Chevrolet Suburban" (5.6m) turned out to be a little shorter. As for the only "non-American" in the list of "heavyweights", "Toyota Mega cruiser”, then it lagged behind quite significantly in this component (5.1m).
Highest
But in the category "highest" japanese SUV was out of competition. The upper level of the Toyota Mega Cruiser is 2,075m. This big car was created exclusively for military purposes, so the number of models sold to private individuals is sharply limited, about one and a half hundred copies.
In addition, it has the highest ground clearance in the world. His ground clearance equal to forty-two centimeters - this is almost twice as much as that of a standard jeep.
As for the height that other SUVs have “reached”, it is 2.02m for the Ford Excursion and 2.01m for the Ford F-250. In this row, the Chevrolet Suburban clearly stands apart, whose height is less than two meters, “only” 1.95 m.
The widest
For people who are interested in wide SUVs, the best choice will be the good old "Hummer". Its width is 2.2m. The Toyota Mega Cruiser (2.17m) is only slightly behind, which is not surprising. Both cars were created at one time to solve military problems, so many of their parameters are very similar.
Ford's Excursion and F-250 SUVs are able to squeeze into the opening a little more than 2.03m, the Chevrolet Suburban has a distance between the sides of 2.01m.
The best
So, we found out which SUV is the heaviest, which is the longest, which is the tallest and which is the widest. There is only one question left to answer. Who is still the absolute winner in the nomination "the most big SUV in the world" (serial) at the moment?
It is difficult to determine a clear leader, but if any of the contenders under consideration deserves this title, then Ford Excursion. Of course, it is lighter than the Hummer and narrower than it, in addition, it is inferior to the Toyota Mega Cruiser in height. However, the most expensive Ford does not lose much to them in this. The remaining models, as a rule, stand out in one or two components, significantly inferior in others.
"Ford Excursion" is a large SUV not only in appearance. 8-9 people can ride in its cabin at a time (much more if desired), and as many things can fit in a huge trunk as no other can fit. a car. In general, given the ratio of "dimensions / capacity" "Excursion" can probably still be called the world's largest production SUV.
Below is a list of the most inexpensive but largest off-road vehicles. It turns out that you can still buy a lot of iron for little money.
So, opens the hit parade of giant economy class jeeps domestic Lada 4x4. The popular nickname "crocodile" justifies its length and the horror that it inspires. The price of this "Russian crocodile" is more than democratic – 400,000 rubles. best offer in the daytime with fire you will not find. From tail to nose exactly 4240 mm, big car.
Plus, a roomy trunk, high ground clearance - in general, it will fit for hunting / fishing trips, taking into account that the interior is very ascetic inside, and even in the improved modification no changes are visible. By the way, the original was released over 35 years ago. The engine capacity of this bulky five-door is 1.7 liters, power 76 Horse power.
All-wheel drive is complemented by a five-speed manual transmission. In general, everything is old and nothing surprising. There is no power steering here, and the maximum speed is not so “maximum” - 132 km / h, and acceleration to a hundred takes as much as 25 seconds. In urban mode, the "crocodile" eats 12 liters (this is according to the manufacturer), but in reality it turns out somehow too much.
It feels like driving in this car is scary, especially after reaching 100 km / h. She all starts to shake, rattle and inspire decent horror on the driver and passengers.
Renault Duster
Oddly enough, the next copy - Renault Duster - is longer than its Russian predecessor, its length is 4315 mm. There are several complete sets of Duster: 1.5 liters, 1.6 liters and 2 liters. Their power is 90, 102 and 135 horsepower, respectively. It accelerates to hundreds in the most powerful modification in 10.4 seconds, and the maximum speed is 177 km/h. These are already indicators, more similar to real jeep. The gearbox is mechanical, the maximum fuel consumption is 11 liters. In the European part of Russia, this car is very popular.
Recently Renault, according to its statistics, recognized the car as the best-selling among all its models. Moreover, six months ago, the company produced a millionth copy of its five-door SUV. In general, the car is compact, very maneuverable, adapted to virtually trouble-free parking in cramped Russian yards. The exterior of the crossover is very decent and pretty, but you can’t say the same about the exterior. Somehow there is too much plastic, looks too cheap and constantly creaks. Well, in principle, this is not surprising, given the cost. from 492,000 rubles.
The interior is quite spacious for a compact car, excellent visibility and decent sound insulation, superior to competitors in this price segment. Summing up, we can say that one of the "cheap giants" Renault Duster is a good people's car with a decent hodovke for the city and high ground clearance. All-wheel drive modifications are superior, at least to the Chevrolet Niva.
The Duster is stable, enters corners at high speed, but it is not very good in conditions emergency braking. If you just want to have a jeep, or rather a crossover, just for moderate city driving, and also inexpensive, then this is your option. And in this case, you full confidence you can say to your arrogant neighbor: “But mine is longer!”
Great Wall Hover H3
Although this giant is made in China, the hardware is still correct. It is 4620 mm long - a real large full-sized jeep, it looks very representative. It has a four-cylinder petrol engine with a volume of 2 liters. The engine is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. As much as possible, this product of the labors of the builders of communism is capable of accelerating to one and a half hundred km / h. Urban consumption of gasoline is 10.8 liters, and outside the city, his appetite is reduced to 8.2 liters for every 100 km.
The ground clearance of this native of the homeland of the Great Wall is at least 18 cm plus a trunk of 600 liters (and if you fold the rear seats, then all 2326 liters), it’s the same - ideal for tourist trips any duration and range. This most popular Chinese SUV accelerates quite confidently to the mark of 60 km / h, but then some kind of uncertainty begins to overcome it, the lack of engine thrust affects it. But as soon as the arrow on the speedometer passes over a hundred, calmness and swiftness return to him. Maximum acceleration - 150 km / h. Mechanical transmission works clearly.
You can move both in the back and on all-wheel drive by pressing a dedicated button. The Hover's brakes are excellent, all-terrain performance is also on top. Of the minuses: lack of wheel arch liners, weak engine and difficult ignition in domestic frosts. This modern car, suitable not only for driving around the city, but also for country trips, travel, fishing and hunting, and you will have to pay for it only 700,000 rubles.
Ssangyong Kyron
Korean designers automotive company, whose name translates as "two dragons", created a rear-wheel drive five-door crossover wagon with contradictory interior and exterior. An unusual and strange name for a car at the time of its appearance. Behind are conspicuous unusual look lanterns, from the sides - sports lines are nullified by a snub-nosed, mute short nose.
Some details testify to the good aerodynamics of the body, while others dramatically weight the image. In general, there are many inconsistencies and absurdities in exterior design. The interior is more pleasant, but reminds a little of the everyday life of a Spartan. The salon is very spacious with a deep passenger sofa, a roomy trunk, plus a box under the floor with an excellent set of tools, even in the most modest configuration. The two-liter engine produces 141 horsepower, and the 2.3-liter modification is combined with 150 horsepower. The car was clearly not created for our cities, because. on each hole and pothole, passengers in the back throw up.
Otherwise, everything is pretty good: Kyron starts well at traffic lights, slows down gently, and maneuvers beautifully. Equally easy control both rear wheel drive and all wheel drive. However, the lack of parking sensors upsets. The maximum speed is 167 km / h, it consumes 11 liters of gasoline every 100 km. Pretty decent SUV for relatively modest money - 830,000 rubles.
Mitsubishi Pajero
A true veteran of the off-road segment. Its thirty-year history makes it a confident leader among fans of passable cars for fishing, hunting and other types of extreme tourism. True brutal with a classic and unpretentious exterior captivates with its reliability and confidence.
Vehicle length 4900 mm, ground clearance 235 mm. The interior is in harmony with appearance: no brightness and pretentiousness, only presentability, quality and expensive finishing materials. The cabin is ergonomic good review and easy access from driver's seat to all the necessary details. Noise isolation leaves much to be desired. Trunk volume 663 liters.
The machine is voluminous both in terms of carrying capacity and in terms of power. His engines are 3 liters, 3.2 liters and 3.8 liters. Max Time acceleration for hundreds - 12.6 seconds, maximum consumption - 13.5 liters. Pajero's suspension is spring, independent.
The brake system, unfortunately, wears out quickly. But in general, the jeep has normal tolerance Russian roads And quite acceptable price for these characteristics - 1,400,000 rubles. No wonder this car has such a high popularity in Russia, especially in its eastern part.
Honda Pilot
For some reason in our market honda SUV Pilot did not take root. This giant japanese crossover, 4875 mm long, costs 1,800,000 rubles. Under the hood, the manufacturers hid a V-shaped six-cylinder engine 3.5 liters and 249 horsepower. 8 people can sit in the cabin at the same time, along with the driver, but on the very back sofa, three fit somehow.
Pilot's ground clearance is 200 mm, five-speed automatic transmission with electronic control. The maximum you can squeeze out of it is 180 km / h, and up to a hundred km / h this giant accelerates in almost 10 seconds. This figure was obtained when driving on the 92nd gasoline, and if you fill the tank with fuel with a large octane rating, then it could be better. In the city, the Pilot consumes almost 16 liters of gasoline, on the highway, consumption is reduced to 9 liters. Rough, but at the same time solid, the external forms of this D-class crossover were more to the liking of American motorists.
Salon in it is huge and ergonomic. Much attention has been paid to safety: 10 airbags plus air curtains. Noise isolation Pilot on top. In driving, the car is stable, maneuverability is average, and the brakes are excellent. In general, on the road, he behaves like a real SUV.
Chevrolet Tahoe
The most impressive dimensions - 5131 mm - for relatively low price in its segment - 2,400,000 rubles- Chevrolet Tahoe. This is an iconic American-made SUV, which, by its appearance alone, makes it at least respected. Comfort, dynamism and safety are the three main keywords for it.
True, the fuel consumption of this "sumo wrestler" is painfully high - 18 liters. Powerful and easy to handle in any terrain, the Tahoe is equipped (2008 version) with a system for optimizing fuel consumption, increasing the level of safety, stability control and course correction. The engine has a V-shaped with 8 cylinders, 5.3 liters in volume, and the power reaches 325 horsepower.
The updated version is able to provide greater smoothness in movement and increase the level of comfort, as well as accommodate the driver along with six passengers.
You can travel anywhere on SUVs - through spacious alpine meadows or majestic mountains, and if your SUV is almost as majestic as the mountains, then you can not return home at all, but live in a car. Yes, it's me again with a list like "The Most-Most". Do you like huge SUVs (let's not talk about complexes and size compensation)? Then listen to the list of the largest production SUVs in the world!

In subsequent years, the SUV was modernized more than once, but this did not affect it in any way. dimensions. Then the automaker only wanted to reduce fuel consumption, but at the same time increase the power of the power units. As a result, the engine power was increased to 320 and 355 hp, but it was not possible to reduce fuel consumption. The last serial is presented in the Z71 configuration and with a 6.2-liter power unit.

Ford Excursion, built on the chassis of the Ford F 250 truck, was produced only until 2005 due to low consumer demand. 
But that's not all: there is another SUV - Alton F650, considered the largest in the world. It was built by Alton Truck Company on the platform of the Ford F650 pickup truck. The machine, which weighs 12 tons, is driven by a 7.2-liter diesel engine 230 hp
